A form of Tibetan folk dance. "Guozhuang" is a homonym of "Guo Zhuo" in Tibetan, which means singing and dancing in circles. Popular in Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai and other Tibetan areas. "Pot village" is divided into agricultural pot village and pastoral pot village. Pot village in agricultural area is popular in Changdu area in eastern Tibet, and pot village in pastoral area (that is, herdsman dance) is popular in Dangxiong, Heihe and Suoxian. The structure of Guo Zhuang in agricultural area is divided into two sections, namely, from slow singing and dancing to allegro singing and dancing, with three speeds: slow, medium and fast. At the beginning, men and women held hands in a circle, sang in turn, shook their feet, and shouted "dumb" in unison after singing. Suddenly, the dance steps accelerated, jumping faster and faster, ending with a warm allegro. The movements of "Guo Zhuang" can be roughly divided into two categories: one is slow in rhythm and graceful in dance; The other is fast-paced and passionate. Most of the movements imitate animal forms, such as "tiger going down the mountain", "eagle hovering", "triumphant" and "wild animals playing", and pay attention to the emotional changes and expressions of the posture, which is the embodiment of the fierce temperament of the Tibetan people in the dance. The level and performance form of pastoral areas are basically the same as those of agricultural areas, but the movements are quite different. Shake hands and jump chest, turn around in the previous step, and dance smoothly (hands and feet are consistent), which is a major feature of pastoral areas. Pot Village-Tibetan folk dance. Dance during festivals or slack seasons. Men and women form a circle, singing and dancing from right to left. The "fruit table"-Guozhuang Dance, which is related to the slave society in Tibet and the early swearing activities, has gradually evolved into a circle dance form combining song and dance. Yue Ji, a draft of the history of Qing Dynasty, is transliterated as "Guo Zhuang", which is called "Gezhuang" in modern times, but Wei Zang Tong Zhi means dancing around pots and piles. Overview of Tibetan Dance: In the past, there was a commercial organization called "Guozhuang" in Kangding area. This kind of firm buys local products and uses customers' money for transshipment. Passing Tibetan businessmen often suddenly stay with them. In the evening, they often cook tea in the stone pot in the yard and scratch their robes. After tea, they sing and dance around the fireplace from time to time to drive away the fatigue and tiredness of the day, maintain their vigorous energy and adapt to the harsh environment. The word "Guo Zhuang" has a long history and is the common name of "Zhuo Dance". Zhuo is a transliteration of Tibetan. According to the lyrics and folklore of Changdu Guozhuang, Zhuo Dance, an ancient folk dance form, existed as early as the Tubo period. Zhuowu was related to Tibetan slave society and street-cursing activities in the early days, and then gradually evolved into a circle dance form combining song and dance. Guo Zhuang was transliterated in Qing Dynasty and Gezhuang in modern times. Zhao Erfeng and others wrote Please Historical Draft, Volume 111, Seventy-six Music Eight Records, which recorded that "the emperor pacified Jinchuan, and Guo Zhuang won ten dances in a happy day. Every two people dance, wearing embroidered robes, Dai Ling, hanging beads, oblique yellow and blue belts, crossing each other.
